[Chorus:]

[Chorus:]
When the road gets rough baby there's no need to worry it's gonna be alright I know ya stressing and your stuck but you got to keep it moving don't give up the fight, when your feeling outta luck and your world is full of darkness, you can't see the light, just remeber I got love and you'll never have to worry gonna be alright
